Hi Sandra, I have a quick question for you. I originally went into my undergraduate program for Mental Health and then became licensed. However, in the past two-years, I've learned how happy I am in my job. I'm going back to school for Cybersecurity and Engineering part-time but would like to know if the bootcamp is a better choice? At the end of the bootcamp do you get a certificate? I'm trying to weigh out pros and cons and your input would be much appreciated.
Hey Sandra! Great video as always. I’m actually a student in the Fullstack Academy Cybersecurity Bootcamp. It’s interesting because I signed up through UIC (University of Illinois Chicago) and it’s “Powered by Fullstack”. I started on 12/6/21 and it concludes 6/11/22. I will say, as someone not from the tech field at all, they’re definitely challenging but exciting at the same time! It was great hearing your comparisons of other bootcamps, your previous videos helped me make the decision to sign up so thank you 🙏🏼
Hello! It sounds like you part time? I signed up for full time but I think I might switch to part time as it think fulltime might be to much all at once. I would love to hear your experience?
@@gsabella4 I went to full-stack. It's a good program. I got a job, and most of my cohort did too in less than 3 months (some took a little longer) but it definitely paid off big time for me.
Thank you John! And I agree lol, it’s essentially a year of tuition at a state school, definitely still cheaper in comparison but definitely not money to spend unless you’re sure of wanting a career in cyber security! Thats why i always preach free courses/resources first lol, glad this was insightful! 😁😆
Hi Sandra Thank you for all your videos I keep up with them regularly. Def grateful for all the knowledge you share on this I was wondering if you could guide me in the right direction as I am enrolled into bachelors of Cyber Security with Deakin which is a 4 year course. I took this option as I'm not really computer savvy and had to brush up on my maths prior to starting my career within Cyber Security. Would you recommend to do the boot camps instead to be able to get more hands on experience rather than uni ? As I imagine Uni won't familiarise me with that much hands on experience .. would that be correct to say ?
Hi Sandra, first off I appreciate all the helpful videos you post, paving the road for future cyber secs. Do employers look for specific bootcamps or universities when looking at your resume ?
Your videos are amazing. You are so easy to listen to very articulate and totally not relevant but you are sooo pretty!! Are you Chilean ? Thanks for the tips I am looking for home labs projects to do rn to improve my cyber hygiene at home and just to broaden my skills as I am switching careers . I wondered if you would suggest anything I could implement/try at home? Thanks - Lorenna 🤗🌸
Thanks so much Lorenna! 💕 glad these videos have been helpful for you :)! I’d check out some tryhackme challenges, or hackthebox if you havent looked into them yet! The pickle rick challenge is a fun one to work on on tryhackme, Josh Madakor also has a video on cyber projects to do at home, have fun and lmk what other vid topics might be helpful for you! ☺️
I’m currently working corrections and want to make a complete change to work in cyber security. I’m not sure where to start. My community college offers an associates but idk if that’s enough. Good videos and your cute 👌
@@s32tech lol forgot about this. So I ended getting my CompTia A+ and working on my Net+, then sec then CySA if I don’t like it I might look into web development
Hey thanks for watching! I mostly looked on Google careers, and job board postings - LinkedIn, Indeed kind of, but mostly job listings on Google and I always chose entry level/early career and remote, I have a vid coming up on my experience in the job search process so hopefully that helps as well!
Do you have any thoughts about the University of Michigan NEXUS Extended Cybersecurity course which is 11 months long? Not cheap at $17,800.00 beyond their boot camp.
Yes, these bootcamps are great for non-tech backgrounds. The one I decided I am doing is Clarusway. They have a 91% graduation hire rate. Meaning 91% of people graduating from Clarusway Cybersecurity mostly get a job afterwards with skills learned from this bootcamp.
exactly my reaction too. Evolve's curriculum is insane. Like super detailed PLUS a real apprenticeship. I saw someones profile on linkedin that completed Evolve bootcamp and they did a 7 month security apprenticeship and immediately got a job as a cyber defense threat analyst afterwards.
Hey again!! Sandra.. Will cybersecurity replaced by AI in 2030.. Wts ur opinion abt it!! Please respond!! Cus my 1st sem of bachelor's in computer security is gonna start on April... Soo i need to know whether AI will replace cybersecurity by 2030 or not! 👀
Hi Sandra - Random question: I need to present to my team, a hands-on type training session on Windows internals and Windows fundamentals with reference to cyber security. Do you have any good references for me (videos, websites, blogs etc.) ?
Hey question- I know this may be obvious to some but I’m clueless, is the position of Security Analyst the same as SOC Analyst or are they different roles?
I was thinking of finding one of the best colleges for my ms in cybersecurity, is there any site , how to find college actually worth enrolling for it!
@@WithSandra nice. I am thinking of joining WGU or a bootcamp. Honestly I want to quickly change career paths. I work fulltime 9-6pm and I don't know how I would juggle school for 2 years... I prefer a faster route for now then go back to get a degree. Any suggestions?
@@dssheppard4281as an assistant CISO, I can say that bootcamps don't look good on resumes lol all it shows to employers is that you'd rather pay tens of thousands of dollars for content you could get for free with independent research. Cybersecurity involved a lot of research and learning and that's why I don't hire bootcamp grads
Hi, I have a question in terms of getting a job what do employers look for a degree, of course, but a boot camp completion or a certification, which will be better?? Thank you Sandra
Is there any free or cheap bootcamps or different ways/resources to study for all these different skills. I wanna get into Cyber Security/Pentest and I have videos on udemy by jason dion. Is that enough to get by? Im a beginner btw, career changer! 🤭
Not specifically bootcamps but I have a vid all about free cyber security courses! Best Free Cyber Security Courses & Training 2022: Hacking Platforms, Online Courses, Cyber Intel, + ua-cam.com/video/evmoc4HKj6E/v-deo.html
It's not actually UCLA. It's a for profit company that contracts with universities to use their name. The company carbon copies the content to each university that sells their name and all "support and instruction" comes from the for profit company and not the actual university.
Feel free to share your bootcamp experience in the comments! And ofc the million dollar question: Degree or Bootcamp? 💻📚
Please make a video for free cybersecurity bootcamp
Yeah, I need a hands on experience. Also would they charge upfront or do I get free and then pay when I lay on a job.

You might want to look at doing cyber security where you currently work to get an idea if you like that type of work.
You need to work into IT before trying to "transition" to cyber, sorry

Can definitely say flatiron is good program based on the recruits that came from there
Would you still recommend any of these courses for an individual without a non-tech background/ career changer?
don't bother, she barely responds to actual great questions from viewers.
@@gsabella4 lol yea bruh I gave up on a response from her after she posted another vid 2 days after I made this comment
@@MrToFlyTheG6 terrible quality to have as a content creator. Shows where her priorities are.

I have this same question. Can anyone recommend a specific school for a non tech background career change?
Should I obtain a Cysa+ certification? I already have Sec+ and 4 years experience in it support.
How do you feel about coding dojo for cybersecurity?
Who did the timestamp labels on this video? They're terribly inaccurate.
I’m surprised you didn’t add Evolve Security Bootcamp to the list.
Was interested in them…do they offer job placement?
exactly my reaction too. Evolve's curriculum is insane. Like super detailed PLUS a real apprenticeship. I saw someones profile on linkedin that completed Evolve bootcamp and they did a 7 month security apprenticeship and immediately got a job as a cyber defense threat analyst afterwards.
She gets sponsored to promote certain bootcamps
What do you know about Quickstart cybersecurity boot camp?

no
Lol no
Hi Sandra - Random question: I need to present to my team, a hands-on type training session on Windows internals and Windows fundamentals with reference to cyber security. Do you have any good references for me (videos, websites, blogs etc.) ?
Do you know anything about Evolve Security? It is a bootcamp totally devoted to Cybersecurity, in Chicago.
I heard they were good, but I’m still researching
Bootcamps are scams
Thank you.
what do you think about google coursea?
Thank you for this informative video :-)
Hey question- I know this may be obvious to some but I’m clueless, is the position of Security Analyst the same as SOC Analyst or are they different roles?
They are different roles
could i get your opinion on calstate long beach's BootCamp?
look up HackerU/thriveDX for that info. the bad reviews will tell you everything you need to kno. run away!!!
Bootcamps are scams and they don't look good on resumes. Even though Sandra is really nice, she gets paid to promote bootcamps so she is biased
What's your opinion to rice University cyber security?
Great material. Definitely need to slow down
16:39 This is for me to remember 🙂
I was thinking of finding one of the best colleges for my ms in cybersecurity, is there any site , how to find college actually worth enrolling for it!
For international students

It's not actually UCLA. It's a for profit company that contracts with universities to use their name. The company carbon copies the content to each university that sells their name and all "support and instruction" comes from the for profit company and not the actual university.
